    Why do we have to wear black uniforms?

    Does adidas mandate us to wear black uniforms? I hate black uniforms in any sport as an MSU alum. If you tell me that it?s player driven, then that needs to end.

    If you dont think players have input on uniforms you are crazy. We get it. You are old school and traditional. Nothing wrong with that.But times are changing ..well have changed.

    Black uniforms are here to stay.
    But maybe lets not wear them in September...

    Well, the color is associated with sadness, loss and mourning. Which, to lay odds, is going to be appropriate for our season performance. *****

    I believe you would be incorrect if you believe the players have no input as to uniform combinations. . . . . . .

    It's not a bad secondary color for MSU. I know historically speaking the baseball team wore black in the early 1900's.

    I'm fine with it for one OOC game a year.

    We have to pay the mfers! No business giving them uniform colors that are not original colors of the university. How many SEC have altered their school colors for athletes? That?s ?Templeton dumb?! Old school?.well I?m a former player that believes in the school and our traditions. Black is not one of them!

    Those were hideous uniforms, and had nothing to do with our success.

    We should have a few "theme" uniform games every year. Like the whole team could wear uniforms inspired by dragons, wizards, Star Trek uniforms, Power Rangers, etc. It would get a lot of attention for the school.

    Great. The defense can all dress like Gandalf and when the ball is hiked shout "You shall not pass!" in unison. **

    Especially in September. Hell, black is too hot for home games in Starkville the entire year minus game 11 and 12, maybe.

    Give it a few years because of the soaring cost of keeping players in the next few years we will be wearing these,

    Sounds like Scott Stricklin.

    How many other SEC teams wear all black? Asking for a friend.**** Teams with tradition that win don't have to use these gimmicks and other fans know exactly who they are when they hit the field. Our colors are maroon and white and as Thick posted our players are now being paid well to represent them.
